ATwATER, May 23.-The untimely
and unexpected death of Miss Grace
Strong, at Atlanta, Ga. on the 18th inst,

the pathetic account of the grief of her
blind mother, published in Sundays

who resides here, received telegram
telling of his sisters death, which he
Immediately answered: Il start to At
lanta by first train" The parties send
ing the dispatch from Atlanta failed to
send the street number, consequently
the sons dispatch was not received by
the mother at Atlanta, and Mon
day evening the blind mother
started with the corpse for Minnesota.
Tuesday night. Mr.. Strong accidently
met his mother in the union depot at
Cincinnati, while they were both in the
act of changing cars-She for the North,
he for the South. The remains arrived
here Thursday, and We're inferred in the
cemetery at Burbank, Mimi, the home
of the deceaSed's grandparents, OH Fri
day, when large concOurse of people
gathered to pay the last sad rites. The
deceased had been an invalid for num-
Der of years, caused by rheumatic
troubles. Last winter was passed in
Florida, in the hope of regaining health.
She was accompanied by her mother,
who has been blind for about three
years, and who was so devotedly at
tached to her daughter that she would
not consent to separation. They were
ON their way nOrthward. and at Atlanta
an attack of the old disease settled i'm
the heart and terminated a bright young
life. While Grace Strong only had a
common school education. she was gifted
with literary attainments. Her book,
the ''Worst Foe" has been very favor
ably received and heartily commended
by some of the highest authorities of the
land. She was writing another book,
which was almost ready for print, and
almost the last work of her life was to
write dedication for her new work.

copiously and were placed in cells. A
eOnSiderate alderman and A. j. Calder,
a saloonkeeper, went bail for all, but
this morning none but the toughest of
the crowd appeared in the armory po-
lice court. Those who did appear were
heavily veiled and paid their S25 fine
without kick. COupeS We're at hand
and the women were driven, God knows
where. There is something sad con-
nected with the raid, and at the same
time it will make wives be a little more
discreet. One husband bailed his
wife" She wept in the station, asked
to be forgiven, and he forgave he,. An
AGONlZlNG SCENE
was witnessed in the female ward shortly
after the prisoners were locked up. A
woman apparently of good standing was
locked up with a ''rounder'' and at

down she said that she would not face
her husband for the world. He is in the
employ of the Chicago & Milwaukee
road. She has child months old at
home on La Sale avenue and only
stepped out with friend when the pO-
lice made the charge, so she says. 1t is
understood that the husband is aware of
the situation and will make an applica-
ton for divorce as usual in such cases.
Bank clerks, society ladies in good
standing, cashiers, etc, faced the inev-
table. The majority of them forfeited
their bail this morning and submitted to
a fine of S25, which was paid and the
social world turns on its axis just the
same as before the pull. Tonight the

the Minnesota boys were not allowed to

foraged five gallons of coffee, hot. The
captains say they have.al been sleeping
in the armory for two months, and all
men are hardened to the work. Not

which is very oppressive though. Gov.
McGill and staff, Judge Macdonald,
Judge Crowell, all the newspaper men
and many ladies called at headquarters
on Minnesota avenue this afternoon.
McGill and staff stop at private resi-
dences, but the soldiers are all in tents.
Capt. Bean says: Some companies

but may claim something when the

112, but 3S crack musicians have been
added, to show the thousands of visitors
what proficiency boys can obtain as musi-
clans. They range in age from to 16,
the cornet players being between Z and
8. The boys are neatly attired in navy
blue suits, knee trousers, polo caps and
black stockings. The coats are braided
with gold, and have gold buttons. The
whole effect is most artistic, and the lad
dies will captivate the hearts of their
audiences here. Their playing is mar
velous, and one would not suppose their
little bodies contained lungs strong
enough to execute the difficult pieces
they play.
WASHINGTON, May 23.-The opening
formalities of the national drill took

THE DULUTH PosToFFICE.
Likelihood That the Present Quar-
ters Will be Retained.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May 23.-The lease
which the government has upon the
building now used as postoffice at Du-
luth will expire on the 18th of June.
The Office is presidential, and the post
master cannot execute for lease himself,
but must leave the matter of quarters to
the postmaster general, he alone being
empowered by law to lease postoffice
buildings for presidential offices. The
building now in use is not altogether
satisfactory, nor is the price paid for it
quite as low as it is believed that it
ought to be. Hence, there is and has
been considerable controversy. The
chief postoffice inspector says that he
has been required to send an inspector
to Duluth to personally investigate and
report upon a location for the office,
either at the present or some other loca-
ton. There is probability, as CLEANED
from unofficial conversations with those
who are in position to know, that the
postmaster general is in favor of retain
ing the present location by execution of
a new lease for five years. Unless the
report of the inspector shall prove
strongly adverse to the building now
occupied, the lease will most likely be
renewed
